Helping educators and schools enhance teaching expertise and impact learning.

I’ve had the good fortune to have been interviewed twice by Leo and his team for the Teacher Talking Time podcast site, and each time the experience has been both pleasurable and instructive. Leo really does his homework, and his questions and comments are not only well-informed but inflected with his particular brand of wry humor. I look forward to future collaborations!

Crossing paths with Leo has been transformative for me, both professionally and personally. Despite years of experience, I still struggled with engaging students and creating meaningful lessons—until I took his courses and mentoring. Through Listening Made Easy, TBL and Dogme, and the New Teaching Agility Workshop, I gained practical strategies that helped me foster more engaging and effective learning experiences. As a result, my students became more engaged, and I was able to retain them because they found the lessons truly valuable.

Leo is almost certainly one of the most dynamic TESOL (ELT) professionals in Ontario. He’s passionate about the field and, through his reading and in-depth interviews of the foremost academics in the field, he’s built up a wealth of expertise in TESOL theory and practice. Beyond English Language Teaching, Leo is an erudite and thoughtful person, who is lit up by the world of ideas, and Stoicism in particular . I highly recommend him as both a language educator and a business/leadership coach.

Leo Gomez is one of the brightest and most dedicated English language teaching professionals I have had the pleasure of collaborating with. He combines exceptional teaching expertise with a genuine passion for evidence-based language instruction and research into second language development. His warm and positive personality, along with his ability to make research accessible and practical for teachers, makes him an invaluable educator and mentor. Leo’s work consistently inspires and empowers those he works with, and he is a true asset to the field of language education.”

Leo Gomes is a superbly organized, imaginative, and clear thinker with an outstanding appreciation of innovative and successful teaching methodologies. His students consistently spoke in glowing terms of his teaching and mentorship, praising the support he provided to help them gain autonomy in their learning and confidence in their performance. A multi-lingual teacher and enthusiastic researcher, Leo is an excellent team player and effective communicator, liked by his peers and adored by his students.

In all the time I have known him, Leo has never ceased to amaze me with his continuing search for deeper knowledge and a better understanding of ELT. At the root of this quest, is his dedication to providing the most engaging and effective way of improving his students’ linguistic and academic ability. He is one of those all-too-rare language instructors who has both the capacity to reach a deep critical analysis of his own teaching methodology and the extensive methodological knowledge to make adjustments to provide a better and better learning experience for his students.
